Flanking the couple are ten hearts some flaming five on each side each containing an emblematic figure with a one-word caption designating the pictured character trait.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary cloth bdg. Rebacked spine. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 143 p. Slight tear on two leaves, wear on extremities of original marbled boards, otherwise a good copy. Early printed edition of this exceedingly rare collection of early Ottoman erotic poems of homosexuality and bisexuality, of the 18th century including the multiple works of Enderunlu Fazil and Sünbülzâde Vehbi. This book includes five works originally: Defter-i ask [i.e. The book of love] (pp. 1-21); Hubannâme [i.e. The book of male lovers] (pp. 22-55); Zenannâme [i.e. The book of beautiful women] (as well as "Çenginâme" of Fazil Bey in Zenannâme, pp. 102-111); and Sevkengiz [i.e. Inspiring] (pp. 112-143). "Defter-i ask" [i.e. The book of love] by Fazil, in which he tells about his own romances, is a mathnavi of 438 couplets. It begins with a description of divine love and tells the story of the poet's romances, which he fell into only to regret and repent afterward. "Hubannâme" [i.e. The book of male lovers] consists of 796 couplets with various titles and it has a mystical analysis of beauty in the first chapter. After an introduction that gives geographical information that may be considered novel for its period, it describes the beauties of male bodies in many countries from India to America. This style is unique and the first in Turkish / Ottoman literature. In the work titled "Zenannâme" [i.e. The book of beautiful women], which is a mathnavi of 1101 couplets, women of various nations are described. The poet indicated in the introduction of his work that he does not want to talk about women, and that he has no orientation towards women. Enderunlu Fazil was an Ottoman poet who depicted the beauty of men from various lands of the Ottoman Empire. He achieved fame through his erotic works, which were published posthumously. Among his most famous works is The Book of Women, which was banned in the Ottoman Empire. The book describes the advantages and disadvantages of women from different nations. Fazil was born in Acre into an Arab family originally from Medina. He spent his early years in Safed in Ottoman Palestine. His grandfather Zahir al-Umar and his father Ali Tâhir were both executed (in 1775 and 1776, respectively ) for participating in a rebellion. After his father's death, Fazil moved to Istanbul. There, he was admitted to the Enderun palace school (thus taking on the name Enderuni or Enderûnlu) but was expelled in 1783 as a result of his love affairs with other men there. In 1799, he was exiled to Rhodes because of his satirical writings and was only allowed to return to Istanbul after becoming blind. He spent the rest of his life there, ill and bedridden. Sümbülzâde's "Sevkengiz" [i.e. The Inspiring] is an erotic and mystical poem in which heterosexual and bisexual narratives compare male and female beauties and eventually turn to divine love. It has 770 couplets in the "münâzara" genre. Özege 7711.
17012506"A Gringuenaude i.e. Paris: chez Vincent d'Avalos & Fleurimont Mordant rue du Gros Visage a l'Enseigne du Privé Conseil attenant l'Hôtellerie de la Fleur" 1701. 12mo 129 x 76 mm. viii 64 pp. Half-title. Expressive woodcut vignette on title a chamber pot and its contents. Occasional very light spotting else fine. 19th-century citron morocco sides gilt panelled spine gilt lettered longitudinally turn-ins gilt gilt edges pair of vellum flyleaves by Koehler with his signature on verso of front free endpaper. First Edition of a silly scatological spoof. Farts excrement latrines and their Rabelaisian synonyms provide characters' and place names and an endless supply of windy jokes in this ultimately tragic love tale. The hero Prince Croqu'Etron Sht-eater son of the sneaky Roi de Vesse Silent-But-Deadly-Fart falls in love with the lovely Princess Foirette Diarrhea daughter of his father's enemy the open-hearted Roi Petaut Loud Fart. Abetted by King Vesse's minister Constipati whose secret liaison with one of Foirette's governesses Lady Clisterine Enema makes him take the Prince's side Croqu'Etron persuades his father to replace war with dynastic marriage a gentler path to territorial aggrandizement. Love vanquishes all King Petaud gives Prince Croqu'Etron a handsome commode chair and the Kingdom of Caca finds peace but the newly married lovers meet their demise at the hands of the evil Prince Gadouard Manure who drowns them in vats of perfume and is punished by the king with the opposite fate being buried alive in you know what. This clever extended dirty joke complete with satirical preface and facetious printing permission dated from Laval 1 Sept. 1701 and a final selection of verses sung at the royal marriage at some point became associated with the fairy tale author Mlle. de Lubert ca. 1702-ca. 1779 whose style it appears to parody. Either through a misunderstanding or as a joke the book was even sometimes attributed to her notwithstanding both its contents and the date of the permission d'imprimer. This is the only 18th-century edition but the book's publishing history was garbled by Gay who describes two 18th-century editions dating the supposed first ca. 1701 based on the facetious permission and a second edition from ca. 1790; according to Gay only the second edition contains the section titled Contes et devis. which appear in this edition on pp. 56-64. Confused library cataloguers have thus dated this edition to ca. 1790. Its typography however points to an earlier date. Stanford University holds a manuscript of the text from the Phillipps collection with textual variants dated 1716. Reprints appeared in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
